To many, the president we have in the United States today is a crazy anomaly — just the result of decades of false but effective branding, decades of Hillary bashing, and a population hungry for change. However, I think the story is much more chilling than that. While I agree it's important that Clinton won [...]

When billionaires and others in the top 1% get tax cuts, who do you think is losing out? That's right — not the 1%! It's simple, yet apparently still too easy to ignore. If the 1% is paying less in tax, that money isn't going to go somewhere. In particular, that money isn't going to [...]

With the legislative and executive branches of government firmly committed to pretending #Climate Change doesn't exist, will the courts act to protect the #Environment and the citizens of America? Don't bet on it. Here's why.

I would endeavor today to be sanguine and say something righteous and hopeful this holiday season. The closer one looks at the state of our world, the more reason there is for concern.

So, Donald Trump yet again said something mind-blowingly insane this week. He said he believed that Putin believed that he and his cronies didn't try to influence the US election.
